There was never any worthwhile resistance
from Iraqi forces when, on March 19, 2003 , we started the long awaited
invasion of a hapless republic that just happens to be in the oil rich historic
and biblical center of the Middle East. A nation that, at that time, had
some twenty-five million inhabitants, was roughly the size
of California, had been embargoed and starved under the thumb of the United
States and United Nations for more than a decade, and is the perfect spot
for additional hi-tech military bases in our Empire’s spread towards
Iraq’s neighbors and eventually China. No matter what else happens,
we won’t give up that stepping stone.

This attack was in the planning since George W. Bush
took office on January 20th, 2001 , despite denials to the contrary. The
first symptom might have been the Vice President’s secret energy meetings
with oil barons that still remain unidentifiable. (So much for transparent
governing)

Nothing stopped us from trumping up all sorts of justification
for the invasion. For the first time in history, we had a president that
appeared on television almost every day for about six months leaning over
a podium somewhere to tell us about “weapons of mass destruction”
in the hands of a madman and, in the same breath, telling us that “Osama
been forgotten” was out to destroy our “way of life” and
implying that Saddam was Osama's buddy and had something to do with the
surgical attack on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.

These weren’t the only untruths broadcast by
our president and his administration. We had Donald Rumsfeld, the Grim Reaper,
telling us that he knew exactly where tons of biological weapons and other
deadly devices were buried in Iraq . And we had the Secretary of State,
Colin Powell, appearing before the UN to deliver documents later found to
have come from a California college student some ten years previously and
showing satellite pictures of “portable biological labs” that
later turned out to be the equivalents of “roach coaches” that
the British sold to Iraq years ago (that’s “lunch wagons”
to you white collar types).

Of course, we’ve had the usual congressional
committees looking into these allegations of impropriety while finding nothing
conclusive or indictable because it’s all a point-of-view, opinion,
hearsay, stonewalled evidence, or detrimental to our national security.
And naturally, they cannot talk about investigations underway. Y’all
come back in twenty years or so when we’ll finally be looking at rebuilding
New Orleans as part of “the biggest reconstruction effort the world
has ever seen.”

By now, it should be obvious to everyone that we cannot
trust the pirates to investigate themselves. Nothing but an outside independent
investigative team has a chance of penetrating the camouflage and cover-ups
of Washington , and that’s what we’re supposed to have from
our elected representatives who sold out to big money and lobbyists long
ago.

Where’s David Shipper when we need him? If you
will remember, this democrat from Chicago took his investigative team to
Washington and had them practice on other areas of government while they
were waiting for Congress to decide on impeachment procedures. And they
started to find corruption and malfeasance all over the place before finally
settling down on the Clinton lies about his dalliances with an intern.

Of course, that was also while we were letting the
democrats walk off with our retirement and health care money just as we’ve
permitted anyone in Washington to do so. At least the democrats balanced
the budget during their final year. And then they threw $230 billion, mostly
from entitlement overcharges, against the national debt. It didn’t
reduce the amount owed on this credit card, but it did keep it from rising
too much. All so the government could go out and borrow trillions more.

Now we’re faced with rebuilding a substantial
part of our own country due to natural disasters and there’s no way
in the world we can afford to do this while conducting the continuous occupation
and rebuilding of a country where we should never have been in the first
place.
